I couldn’t believe it when I first heard the news. How were they, of all people, getting a divorce after more than 30 years of marriage? It happens, and far more often than we’d like to admit. Couples drift apart and fall out of love, but almost always gradually over time, and often hidden from sight.
Sadly, many spouses who love each other are no longer in love with each other. But that doesn’t have to spell divorce. Whether it’s falling in love or falling out of love, both are a choice, and both take work. When we choose to lead our heart, our heart will naturally follow! And when we choose to act like we’re in love, our feelings will eventually catch up.
So, no matter how you’re feeling, here are 5 ways to fall in love with your wife again.
1. Speak her love language (rather than just your own).
Doing things for your wife speaks love. However, most of us naturally do the things for them that speak love to us, because it’s easiest and makes the most sense to us. I love to randomly kiss my wife, and while she’s OK with that, my randomly doing the dishes speaks love a whole lot louder to her. This doesn’t mean you can’t do both. Just remember, love goes beyond what’s easiest and strives for what’s best.
